when I opened the package, It smelled like if it was burning. I just tried it now and it still smells the same, is that normal ?

It may have an odor upon opening it, and using it for the first few times. It should quickly burn off. Remember, this is using the power a small window air conditioner or a portable electric heater. Keep an eye on it for the first few uses, but I think you'll be fine.

No, it shouldn't smell that way. You should ask for an exchange. Mine came with no smell and I love it - so quiet!

It shouldn't have that smell. Mine didn't but I returned this anyways and got another brand which is lightweight and better :)

I noticed a 'burnt odor' emanating from the hair dryer before initial use and was also concerned. After a few weeks of daily operation, the odor's dissipated. We've had our Remington hair dryer for several months now, and there's no unusual odor, just normal from what you'd expect from a very hot heating element.

Really?! I did not have that issue. I would hate for you to have to return it b/c I love it so much

Mine did not smell the same. Be careful, maybe something is wrong. If I were you I return it and replace it with another one.

It didn't smell at all. It smelled new but not that strong but then later the smell went away.

Initially, mine seemed to smell like it was alcohol at first. But after sometime when the smell settlesdin, you would get the real sweet scent of the perfume. Except perhaps you didn't perceive the great scent few seconds after sprayIng . Only then would u be concerned that perhaps it's a fake. In all mine was fine.

I just heated it up to see if it had any scent to it. I did not smell anything at all until I put it right up to my nose then there was a very slight scent.

Mine did not smell different. U may have gotten a bad one or something. Probably see about an exchange and gage from there.

I find it hard to believe I purchased the same item as was purchased by the people answering this question. There is a definitely a smell - kind of like a strong plastic smell, which is there even when the unit is not turned on (and just gets stronger when it is). Granted, I've only had this for about 5 days, so hopefully it will go away.

Send it back. Try another one. They arent supposed to smell like that.I bought two and no smell like you describe.

I did not like this myself, I do not know if this is from the same seller, but when I received there was a horrible smell, so I contacted the seller, and found out they only accepted returns if it was defective. so it was a big to do, and would of cost more to send it back thank, because I had to pay restocking fee, and plus postage. so I threw it away, hope this helps

To me it smelled like formaldehyde. After letting it air like the instruction suggested, the smell disappeared. I have never smelled an odor since I started using it..

Mine does not have any obvious smell to it. This was my first time using it so I have nothing else to compare it to.

I personally didn't have a problem with the smell however it's compressed into a box smaller than its full expanded size so it would be pretty hard to put it back into its original packaging once removed and it is expanded fully. You have to let it expand for a few hours and at that time it didn't smell horrific or anything like that just foam scented.

Mine didn't have the smell, either. When it was brand-new, it had one of those "new" product smell a little but it went away fast.

Mine has a little bit of a funny smell but it is normal, not off putting it is also very light in color. If you feel yours is truly bad then I would call the company you received it from. Did you purchase from the same company? It may vary from company to company. I'm just a customer. Its my first time using it so I am not a expert in this field.

Mine has an odd smell while using, too, but I understand that this is normal.

No, nothing is wrong with it. That's how mine smelled too. Very minty. Was overpowering at first. Now, since I have used it a few times, it's not bad.

Personally, I would exchange it. When I first opened the package, mine had zero smell to it. Absolutely none. Which is exactly what we're paying so much extra money for, right?! I would assume there's something wrong with yours. I absolutely love mine.
